Preview of New Action and Tutorial. Need Name Suggestions!

UPDATE! Thank you so much for the great name suggestions for this edit! I picked Dandelion Wine (love the book, thanks for the idea Amanda!), but will be using some of your other suggestions on newer actions.

I have been experimenting with colors in Photoshop. I have some beautiful new images from some of my readers and I have been having so much fun using them to create new editing techniques. I am especially thrilled to have so many photos of girls since I am the only female in my family other than our dog and most of my images consist of blurry-due-to-running-away-from-mom, covered-in-dirt boys.

The beautiful image I used for this before/after is from Victoria Ford of Photography by Victoria Ford (Facebook Page). She generously sent me a large version SOOC (straight out of camera) image for me to use for this tutorial. This timeless image just makes me happy.

I wanted to do something "different for me" on this photo, and I am really happy with the result. This was an easy edit, but I did use some layer masks to keep the skin tones from getting funky. I love the colors and warmth of this edit and I hope you like it too.

So; I need a name for this effect and I was hoping you could help me out. I am going to write a tutorial and also post a free action, but like always I am at a loss on what to call it. The name does not have to have anything to do with coffee or food, but I would love for it to somewhat express the effect.

If you have any name ideas, please leave a comment! Once I have the name I will start working on getting both the action and tutorial posted. And as I mentioned earlier, I have a huge pile of almost completed actions and tutorials that are going to be coming out in the next weeks, so be sure to visit and send your friends!
